Located in the Flint Hills just west of Topeka, Alma Creamery is a family-owned institution known for its handcrafted cheeses and deep agricultural roots. Featured by Kansas Magazine and the Topeka Capital-Journal, the creamery offers tastings of their signature cheese curds and a behind-the-scenes look at traditional cheesemaking. The small-town setting and genuine hospitality make this a flavorful, educational stop on any regional itinerary.
It’s a cheese store attached to the gas station, not really the creamery. That’s ok, just not 5 stars. I like the cheese I bought but they don’t taste so fresh (Mediterranean flavored cheese curds). I did buy the habanero ghost pepper cheese (proper spicy), horseradish Monterey Jack, and you get a “free” 8oz longhorn co-jack if you spend $20.
All quite tasty and I like to sample local cheeses.

My wife and I love cheese & had our doubts about a cheese shop attached to a gas station along a freeway. Surprise! Their sharp cheddar was the best we've had in taste and texture. The other cheese varieties were also excellent. Too bad it's so far away from our home.

This was a pleasant surprise! The workers were helpful. The samples were yummy and definitely convinced us to make a purchase. We got snack boxes to eat on the road and cheese for home.

Super nice even had a tray of fresh cheese curds that had different sprinkles that you could’ve chose and everything else had a wide variety of meats cheeses spreads all of it and the staff was friendly. The atmosphere is good. Plenty of parking easy on and off the freeway, couldn’t ask for much more.

OMG, THE CHEESE!! So many kinds, so many unique flavors! They even had samples to try before you bought a big portion. They had gift boxes/baskets available, and when I was there, they had a special where you got a 1 lb brick of sharp cheddar free when you spent $40 or more. Which, of course, I did. The prices were a tad higher than expected, but everything is that way these days, it seems. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. (Try the cheese curds!)

Awesome and friendly service, opened new spreads so we could try what we wanted to buy. Loved the large selection of cheeses, curds, and spreads, and the amazing flavors! If you are a cheese-lover, this place is a MUST on your to-do list!!

Amazing cheese selection. Brilliant service. Pretty much anything I've had here has been brilliant. Get some curds, a gift box, a wheel of cheese. It's a wee hidden gem hidden inside of a fuel station. Clean washrooms, a sonic drive through and the normal convenience store items. I really liked the cheese store.
